Deflection vanes

Damage from erosion corrosion is frequently observed on pump impellers, deflection vanes and pipe bends. 

Figure 6-5(b) is a case for a reaction of unity, that is, all the pressure rise is in the rotor, with the stator blades acting only as guide vanes to deflect the gas. A reaction of unity is aerodynamically the equivalent of R = 0 or impulse, as shown at Figure 6-5(f) since it corresponds to an interchange of the moving and fixed blade row. 

Figure 6.3 shows a vaned-disk turbine. As shown in the elevation view on the left, the blades throw the fluid radially toward the wall thereby deflecting it up and down.

The operating principle of the YR-1 Rheometer is to drive a spindle through a calibrated spiral spring connected to a motor drive shaft (see Fig. 3). The vane spindle is immersed in the test materiaJ. The resistance of the material to movement is measured by observing increasing torque values as the YR-1 motor rotates. The amount of shaft rotation is measured by the deflection of the calibrated spiral spring inside the instrument. Spring deflection is measured with a rotary transducer. 

Bubble-vortex machine with adjustable blades woiks as follows. The dusty gas is fed into a cylindrical chamber 1, where the swirl 3 with blades mounted in the radial grooves of the rod, deflects the flow and gives it a rotation. Under the action occurring at the same centrifugal forces dispersed particles are moved to the sides of the unit. For adjusting the blades at the entrance and exit of each blade 3 have two tabs. With their help, the blade is in contact with a pair of eccentrics. Eccentrics are turning vanes on the inlet and outlet sections of the cylindrical chamber 1 in different directions. With this blade 3 are installed in the position corresponding to the most efficient gas purification. 

Vane Anemometer Another type of anemometer has a vane that moving air deflects. An indicator connected to the vane gives air velocity. 

If now the vane or needle be charged from one terminal of a high-voltage battery the other terminal of which is grounded, and a difference of potential be established. between the two sets of quadrants, the needle will be deflected by the electrostatic forces imposed and induced. 

An inlet vane control system (Fig. 29) comprises a static guide-vane unit which is installed in front of the fan s impeller and whose radial vanes can be swivelled by means of a control device so as to vary the inlet air flow conditions. These vanes deflect the inflowing air in the direction of rotation or in the opposite direction. As a result of this preliminary guidance, the entry losses are substantially less than those associated with ordinary damper control. 

The gas distributor reduces the relative gas velocity on all spraying stages in efficient way. To assist the swirl flow originated by the inner gas stream of the gas distributor, the LamRot is further modified. The disc under the LamRot effectively prevents the axial airflow and deflection of the threads is avoided (Sect. 4.1). Further improvement is expected from vanes connected to the disc. 

Flexible impeller pump (Figure Hf) uses elastomeric material such as rubber as rotor. Its impellers or vanes continuously deflect or straighten as they pass a cam between the inlet and outlet ports. Liquid is carried and compressed by the flexible impellers from pump Inlet to outlet. Its advantages are it is an inexpensive pump. It can handle liquid with solids, abrasives, or entrained gases. It is dry seif-priming, its disadvantages are its low flow and pressure limits, about 150 gpm and 6D psi. It cannot run dry and its operating temperature is limited to about 300 F,...
